Avoid "possible NPE" warnings for throw Lombok.sneakyThrow(e)

Currently, the following code triggers a warning in IntelliJ.
(I'm using the current version, 2016.3.4.)

    throw Lombok.sneakyThrow(e);

> Dereference of 'Lombok.sneakyThrow(e)' may produce 'java.lang.NullPointerException'.

This change eliminates the warning.

All tests pass. I ran:

    ant setupJavaOpenJDK6TestEnvironment
    ant test
    ant setupJavaOpenJDK7TestEnvironment
    ant test
    ant setupJavaOracle7TestEnvironment
    ant test
    ant setupJavaOracle8TestEnvironment
    ant test
